After Saturday's first round at Kettle Brook Golf Club, Guthrie owns a one-shot advantage over Matthew Leger and Frank Vana, a longtime force on the Massachusetts amateur golf stage.

Doug Parigian is alone in fourth after a 74.

Guthrie heads into Sunday's finale at Wachusett Country Club ahead of a field of many of the region's top golfers, including nine players within four shots of the lead and another 10 just five shots back.
